Skyline Conference

The 2009-10 year marks the Skyline Conference’s 20th year of operation. Formed on May 16, 1989 as a men’s basketball conference, the Skyline Conference now conducts championships in 17 sports – nine for men and eight for women.

Reflecting the tremendous and vital diversity of the New York metropolitan region, the mission of the Skyline Conference is:

• To embrace the NCAA Division III philosophy statement and recognize that athletic programs and student-athletes are integral parts of the educational experience,
• To conduct athletic competitions among our members and determine conference champions,
• To foster the growth of leadership opportunities for our student-athletes so they may be productive members of society.

Members of the Skyline Conference share the belief that broad participation in intercollegiate athletics by the men and women attending our institutions develops good sportsmanship, productive teamwork, and positive citizenship embracing cultural diversity and gender equity in the greater community. We appreciate that the benefits of these elements of character accrue to the whole institution. Therefore, each member is committed to providing a comprehensive, equitable, fiscally responsible athletic program, which is available to the entire student body and where athletic participants are treated the same as other students.

Through the Skyline Conference, our goal is to support our student athletes in their efforts to reach high levels of academic and athletic performance consistent with the academic goals of our member institutions and without providing athletically related aid. We strive to provide all sponsored teams with adequate facilities and support, competent coaching where fairness, openness, and honesty are exhibited, and challenging competitive opportunities.
